75 of 100: Look up

I recently got a new camera, a Ricoh GR IIIX—a fixed-focal-length stick-in-your-pocket job that I am going to learn about and play with in another week and a half when we head up to the Sierra foothills for my birthday. I am hoping it will replace my iPhone as my go-to imaging device, for various reasons: I'll be able to shoot RAW without worrying about filling my phone's memory; and maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to put the phone away for extended periods of time—no apps, no news, no distractions—and pay more attention to the world around me. 

As part of this particular "new me," I'm considering kicking off another 365 Project—a photo a day in 2025. Though we've seen how well I've done with this modest (100-count) blogpost-a-day project. I apparently don't take myself too seriously anymore when it comes to resolutions. But... maybe I'm just in need of a different sort of challenge? Maybe photos are calling me home? One can hope?

As part of this new (possible—no promises) resolve, I intend to start posting again on Flickr, which turned out to be a great repository for imagery, and where I still have some old friends (of the never-met-in-real-life variety, but what else is new?). 

Today as I started the afternoon walk with my friend Kate and the doughty dog Milo, I happened to look up:

Taken with the iPhone.

When I posted that shot on IG, I tagged it #lookup. And then I wondered what other photos I have on Flickr that exemplify this lookuppiness. And I found a few after a not especially exhaustive search:

Holmenkollen Ski Jump in Oslo

This is the same power pole as in the first photo above.
The tall one.

Up up with penguins (in Antarctica)

Look up, you say?

As I searched for these, I wondered, Maybe a weekly theme for this next year's project. #lookup would be a good starting one. 

Anyway, yeah. Wish me luck!

P.S. This post had zero to do with Facebook. Just noting.
